“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

I've realized today what it is about Marigold that keeps catching my eye.

Oh, yes? What's that?

She reminds me of Michael Gregson. Just tell me if I'm wrong.

You're not wrong. Don't tell Edith you've guessed.

Why not? It certainly makes things a little clearer than they were.

Just don't, not yet. Mary doesn't know either nor Tom. Please let it be Edith's secret a little while longer.

Very well. I must say it's an unusual sensation to know there's a secret in this house I'm actually privy to. But I'll be silent if you wish.

And you'll love her? Your new granddaughter?

I think, and perhaps to my surprise, I rather think I will.

I don't know why you're making such a fuss, Mama. You'd visit Denker if she were locked up.

Only to check if the locks were sound.

The English have strong principles except when it comes to good shooting or eating well.

Isobel Crawley

I think you'll enjoy Paris.

Many of our countrymen have settled there. Of course, they've lost everything, but so have we.

Including the will to live.

I will never again receive an immoral proposition from a man. Was I so wrong to savor it?

Lady Edith Crawley

Papa? Is something the matter?

No, nothing's the matter, and that's what I want to make clear.

Lady Edith Crawley

I don't understand. What's this about?

Marigold.

Lady Edith Crawley

I see. And what do you have to say about Marigold?

I think you know what I want to say--what I want you to say.

Lady Edith Crawley

I can't give her up.

No, of course not.

Lady Edith Crawley

I want your forgiveness, Papa. Am I allowed to say that still?

It's not the way I would have things. I won't lie to you about that, but this is what's happened. I believe Michael Gregson was an honorable man.

Lady Edith Crawley

Oh, he was, Papa! He really was. He would have married me as soon as he could. I know that!

I think so, too. So now we must do our best for his child. For his sake as well as yours.

Lady Edith Crawley

That's so lovely of you.

But I think we should keep it in the family. Even in 1924, there are plenty of people who might be unpleasant.

Lady Edith Crawley

But do you forgive me, Papa?

Oh, my darling, I'm sure I need your forgiveness quite as much as you need mine.

Lady Edith Crawley

No burning ambitions?

Bertie Pelham

Not really. I'm always jealous of those chaps who fly the Channel or invent a cure or something. What about you? Are you pining for some unfulfilled dream?

Lady Edith Crawley

Not today. Today I feel very happy.

Henry Talbot

Be a sport and forgive me. I'm here for the night and I don't want you scowling at me through dinner.

Lady Mary Crawley

I shall scowl if I think you deserve it.

[regarding Rose] She'll love you forever, if you'll let her. That's who she is.

I know that now. How stupid not to have seen it before.

You'll be pleased to hear that I am not about to have a heart attack. Your father has an ulcer.

Lady Mary Crawley

Oh, that's a relief!

Lady Edith Crawley

Well, yes, it is a relief, but you've got to be good with your diet.

Well said, we'll take it seriously. White fish, chicken, no alcohol--

Steady on!

Please be careful on Christmas Eve if you do decide to drink. You'll get plastered on a snifter of sherry.

Ah, paradise.

Tom Branson

What do you say we take a moment to think of Sybil? We're the three left on Earth who loved her the most.

Lady Edith Crawley

And Mama and Papa.

Tom Branson

But we were the three who should have grown old with her....And who knows when we'll be together again.

Lady Mary Crawley

Darling Sybil, wherever you are, we send you all our love and kisses, for the happiest of Happy Christmases.

Now, what should Marigold call me?

Donk.

Oh, why not? She can call me "donk." And when she does I'll be reminded of you.

Give me some tea.... I've had Miss Marigold on my back since luncheon.

How lucky is that child?

Why do you say that?

What was she? A farmer's daughter until she caught the eye of Lady Edith. Now she'll grow up in the bosom of a great family and, no doubt, live a life accordingly.

Mr. Bates

I don't think Mr. Moseley meant to be unkind about Miss Marigold.

Anna

I'm sure he didn't.

Mr. Bates

Only it seemed to put you in a strange mood.

Anna

Did it?

Mr. Bates

It's ironic. So many children in need of a home, so many homes in need of a child.

Mr. Bates

My God, what have I said? My darling, what have I said?!

Anna

It's not your fault. Only...I thought I was pregnant. And then this morning...Well, anyway, now I'm not.

Mr. Bates

You should have told me.

Anna

I didn't want to get your hopes up.

Mr. Bates

You weren't to know that'd happen.

Anna

But you see I was. Because it's happened before. Twice. I can't do it! I'm not able!

Mr. Bates

There is no proof of that. But if you're not, you're not. We'll be all right.

Anna

I've let you down.

Mr. Bates

There are no words less true than those. You could never let me down.
